Slaving Cubase, MPC as master:
Go to Cubase > Transport > Sync Setup... - set Timecode source to midi timecode, select MIDI input
Go to MPC > shift-9(MIDI/SYNC) > Sync Out - set mode to MIDI timecode, Send MMC - ON
On the transport panel at Cubase turn off the master button and turn on sync button
Dont forget to check Project Setup (shift-s) - frame rate should be the same as in the mpc - default is 25
That should work, but im still having some troubles with it from time to time, im newbie in the syncing thing too

Slaving MPC as a slave is a bit easier:
again go to Cubase, Sync setup, Select port in the Send Midi Clock list
Go to MIDI/SYNC menu in MPC, set Sync in to Midi Clock, Recieve MMC - OFF
On the transport panel at Cubase turn off the master button and turn on sync button

that should be all i guess, good luck
